The expansion of the oil and gas industry has created a worldwide demand for energy. Over the years, oil & gas has been widely used in power generation, manufacturing, transportation, and other end-use industries. However, the huge demand for unconventional fuels such as shale gas, tight gas, coal bed methane due to increasing urbanization, globalization and high economic growth is estimated to lead to negative market growth that many countries are increasing their capital expenditures (CAPEX) to secure the inflow of energy. Hydrocarbons, offshore oil and gas have proven to be the most efficient and reliable source of energy attracting many investors and oil and gas companies so growing interest in oil is expected and scrap gas will drive the directional drilling market size.

Technological Advancements: Factors such as technological advances enable the deepwater and ultra-deepwater industry, and many new markets, such as Gabon, Senegal, Guyana, Trinidad and Tobago, Egypt, and the Mexican side of the Gulf of Mexico are strongly encouraging development. This directional drilling market trend is expected to create important opportunities for operating countries in the near future.

North America is expected to dominate the directional drilling market share, due to presence of various key industry players, long-term expertise in exploring complex formations, availability of large unconventional reserves, and good government policies e.g. In December 2019, the US Energy Information Administration (EIA) reported that total proved oil reserves in the country rose to 43.8 billion barrels in 2018 compared to 39.2 billion barrels in 2017, a year earlier. North America led the directional drilling market and was expected to be the largest market by 2023, driven by increasing demand from the US. and Canada. Technically, it is one of the largest recoverable reserves of shale gas in the United States and the second largest reservoir of heavy oil in the world. Technological advances in hydraulic fracturing and low breakout values have supported oil and gas directional drilling activities in the region.
